AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing refractory anchoring systems for thermal vessels in high-temperature environments, such as HEXMESH, D-BAR, and C-BAR, are prone to biscuiting due to thermal expansion and contraction, leading to premature failure and require time-consuming installation, compromising the protective capabilities and necessitating frequent replacements.

Method used

An anchoring device with a main body having segments and segments extending at various angles, including pockets and voids for refractory flow, and reinforcement tabs to secure the refractory material, reducing biscuiting and improving installation efficiency.

Benefits of technology

The anchoring device enhances the durability and stability of refractory liners by minimizing biscuiting and simplifying installation, thereby extending the lifespan of thermal vessels and reducing maintenance costs.

Abstract

An anchoring device includes a main body configured to extend around an interior edge of a thermal vessel. The main body includes a mounting element including an inner surface and an outer mounting surface and a first segment extending from the mounting element in a first direction. The first segment includes a first segment outer surface and a first segment inner surface. The main body includes a second segment extending from the mounting element. The second segment includes a mounting portion extending in a second direction from the mounting element and an extension portion extending from the mounting portion in a third direction. The second segment includes a second segment outer surface extending along the mounting portion and the extension portion and a second segment inner surface extending along the inner portion and the extension portion.
